What color is Dulux Lilac Heather 2?

Dulux Lilac Heather 2 is a muted blue-violet with a gentle grey cast, sitting at a medium-light depth rather than reading as a sugary pastel. Its cool, softened character can look a little bluer in north-facing daylight, while warmer bulbs tend to bring forward its lilac side. It suits bedrooms, reading corners, and bathrooms where a clear color is wanted without a sharp or overly bright finish. Pair Lilac Heather 2 with soft white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a grounded contrast. On cabinetry or a single feature wall, this shade gives more definition than it would on every surface in a small, dim room.
